Jerusalem: Cabbie Shot After Trying to Run Officer Over

An Arab taxi driver was shot in the leg Sunday after apparently trying to run over a Border Guard officer.

Both men are in mild condition. The officer was treated on site and the driver was taken to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem.

The police are investigating the incident as a nationalistically motivated attack.

According to available details, the driver, a 39-year-old man from the Jabel Mukaber neighborhood in southeast Jerusalem, arrived at an east Jerusalem police station and rammed into a delivery van trying to exit the compound.
